"His last visit to Dublin was a very unhappy one, involving a verbal spat with the manager of the home team and a defeat which knocked his club out of Europe and could even have cost him his job."
"But there was sweet revenge for Albert Riera, the former Liverpool and Spain player in charge of Slovenian side NK Celje, as they made up for Tallaght trauma last year and breezed past the challenge of a Shamrock Rovers side who will rue the soft nature of the goals they coughed up in this Conference League defeat."
NK Celje defeated Shamrock Rovers 2-0 in the UEFA Conference League in Dublin. Albert Riera, the former Liverpool and Spain player who manages Celje, achieved revenge for a painful previous visit to Tallaght. His prior trip involved a verbal spat with the home team's manager and a defeat that eliminated his club from European competition and threatened his job. Celje performed strongly and capitalised on two soft goals conceded by Shamrock Rovers. Shamrock Rovers will regret the manner of the goals they allowed in this Conference League defeat.
